About Me

My name is Lisa and I am originally from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I studied Environmental Studies and Water Management at McGill University. I moved to the Netherlands in 2016 for work. I am an extremely friendly and outgoing person, and I absolutely love all animals! In my pictures you’ll see my two dogs back home in Canada - Buddy and Tikki and some other friends dogs or dogs I have watched in the past! I speak English and French and I am learning German - not much Dutch yet ;)

My animal experience

I always grew up with pets in my life. Ever since I was a baby, I was surrounded by Great Danes, mix breeds and Huskies. We mostly adopted our dogs from shelters to give them a better life. I also had a pet budgie and my sister and I also had hamsters. When I moved into my own apartment, my roommate and I adopted 2 cats. So, I have quite an extensive history with all kinds of animals! I especially love dogs and cats, even the most difficult or timid ones. I know how to handle tough dogs on leashes (as mine are back home!) and I also dont mind getting dirty with dogs out on walks. I have also volunteered at numerous animal shelters, including the SPCA in Montreal, and the Ark Dog Shelter in Barbados. I have also babysat my friend's dogs here in the Netherlands, as I have not yet had the opportunity to care for my own pet. This is why I wish to offer my time to take care of your pets, since I do not get to see my own very often back home!

Availability and Services

I work from home so I am quite flexible! I would be delighted to take your dog for a walk around these beautiful green areas, to meet and greet with other dogs (if they like that!). When walking dogs, I discuss first with the owner on the dog's abilities and preferences. Walks can range from what is possible for your pup, from 20 mins to 1 hour each walk. I can offer 1 walk a day.

My Home

My home is currently an apartment in The Hague, and we live 2 mins walk from the Haagse Bos! Perfect for walks :) Looking forward to meeting your pet!
